The Pumori Expedition is one of Nepal’s most respected 7,000-meter mountaineering challenges. Often called the “Daughter of Everest,” Pumori takes its name from the Sherpa language, meaning “Unmarried Daughter.” This elegant, pyramid-shaped peak rises majestically along the Nepal–Tibet border in the Mahalangur Himal, located just 8 km west of Mount Everest.
Standing at 7,161 meters, Mt. Pumori is a technically demanding climb involving steep ice faces, exposed ridges, deep crevasses, and intricate glacier travel. Previous mountaineering experience, along with excellent physical fitness, endurance, and familiarity with high-altitude environments, is essential. Proper planning, acclimatization, and mastery of alpine climbing techniques are vital to successfully reaching the summit.
The Pumori Expedition serves as an excellent preparation climb for 8,000-meter mountains. Its Southeast Ridge route—accessible via the classic Everest Base Camp trail—offers world-class training in technical mountaineering. The journey to Pumori Base Camp takes you through the heart of the Khumbu region, with Sherpa villages, monasteries, forested valley trails, towering cliffs, and awe-inspiring Himalayan scenery, making the expedition both a physically demanding and spiritually enriching adventure.
Upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport, our representative will greet you and assist with luggage and transportation to your hotel. After check-in, you can relax before attending a pre-expedition briefing in the afternoon. Here, your expedition leader will walk you through the itinerary, safety guidelines, equipment, and logistics.
Today’s guided cultural tour introduces you to major UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhanath Stupa, Swyambhunath (Monkey Temple), and Kathmandu Durbar Square.
After the tour, return to your hotel to rest and complete final preparations for the expedition.
In the evening, enjoy a traditional Nepali welcome dinner with cultural performances.
